Olsen for Nine Mile schools

Eric Olsen, who is running for Nine Mile Falls School Board Position No. 2, has lived in the Nine Mile Falls community for almost 25 years and has served for 29 years as an employee for the city of Spokane. His demonstrated leadership and experience qualify him for this position. Eric’s qualifications are not in question; more importantly, what Eric brings to this position is his character.

With two children in the district, he has a vested interest in the safety, security and success of our schools. I have known Eric for over 40 years, and I can attest to his honesty and integrity. He takes his responsibilities very seriously. He cares for our community and has exceptional leadership skills and is ready to address any issue big or small.

I can think of no better candidate than Eric Olsen for the Nine Mile Falls School Board.
